    As much as I hate to agree with "the Zool" , the CB's must and I believe will be an improvement over last season. If House / King fail to step up to higher levels of play, GB's chances for success will be greatly diminished. Injuries, god forbid , could drop the Secondary back to one or both of last seasons CBs with I fear the same poor results.

    I'm fed-up with excuses, (injuries, poor coaching, bad field conditions, bad haircuts, nerves, etc.) , show me results !

    If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !

    Normally, I'd say that getting to the NFCCG is a pretty good result, but I have to agree that I'm getting antsy that this team gets close but hasn't been able to close the deal the last several years now.

    I have my doubts about all those in charge, but last year was a remarkable result given the injuries on D.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Ya, I wrote in the other thread that they have so many chances to be better, and the improvement doesn't have to be a lot, they almost can't help but be better. House or King make a difference, Randall or Rollins bounce back at least somewhat, any of the other returners progress, an unheard of newcomer contribute. It won't take a lot to be better at CB.

    They gotta be better this year. They couldn't be any worse...

    Along this line of thought, I have about 5-6 things I'm hoping will work out. If none of them happens it will take the wind out because it will speak poorly for the future as well as the present.

    Edit: to delve into it.

    We need some of these, not all, but some to happen.

    King/House/Randall emerge to Make secondary stop being the punchline to a bad joke.

    Fackrell/Beigel/Elliot emerge to add pass rush.

    Clarke to consistently show what he flashed last year.

    Ghostpepper to redefine "hybrid safety" and shutdown TE's/RB's while assisting in the rungame.

    Bennett/Kendricks/Monte to create matchup nightmares and cause our O to become mythical.

    Obi/Evans/Patrick come on at Guard to fortify a very good OL. (anyone but Barclay).

    If 2-4 of those things happen we will right there again. If none of these things occur I fear for the future of this organization.

    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    Educate me, please, on the genesis of the "Ghostpepper" moniker. Makes no sense to me.

    Pb thinks he is underrated because he didn't have a spicy enough name so I dubbed him ghostpepper.

    I still think Carolina Reaper makes more sense

    The ghost pepper tips the Scoville scale at a walloping 855,000 to 1,041,427 Scoville heat units. The Carolina Reaper eclipses it at 1,400,000 to 2,200,000 SHU.
